Whether the community in which you live has decided to go green or you just want to protect the world as much as you’re able, there are many things you can do. Many people choose to make improvements to their home which will save energy (and money) as well as help the environment. One of the lesser known methods of doing so is to replace old windows with new, double-glazed versions from Central Glass & Aluminium. These windows get better environment scores and rankings, improving your heating and cooling bills, and reducing your carbon footprint.
Thermal Insulation
The best thing about using double glazed windows is that they’re ecologically friendly and can be effective at keeping your home warm and cool during winter and summer, respectively. The double panes of glass offer more thermal insulation than others because they have a gap between the panes, filled with gas, inert air, or vacuum-sealed. This means that you can use less energy and electricity during the year to heat and cool your home.
Fewer Emissions
Because you’re using less electricity and natural gas, you’re also lowering the carbon dioxide emissions that your home releases. This means that you are doing your part to reduce the harmful effects of global warming. When you choose UPVC frames along with double-glazed windows, you’ve got an even more environmentally-friendly option for your house.
Decrease Room Condensation
Double-glazing can also help you minimise the condensation that forms on the windows of your home. Condensation can build up on the inside pane of the glass because the inside air is warmer than the outside. When you lessen the condensation, you can also reduce your energy bills because there will be fewer cold spots. Everyone will feel more comfortable inside no matter what it does outside.
